The color is a little darker than I expected. Very nice table though. Did have a little trouble with the screws on the drawer track going in far enough for the drawer to glide in and out without getting hung up. After a bit of widening the drilled hole, it went in far enough for the drawer to clear and glide in and out fine. Was easy to assemble, but be sure to organize the screws before you start or it would be very easy to use the wrong one. Very subtle differences that could easily be confused. The brown and black screws were a bit hard to distinguish from color alone.
